Hong Kong General: Hongxing 49 Zai, step on Liang Kun to get a job

The media reporters who followed behind them immediately pointed their flashlights at the two of them.

Although I knew that there would be a bet worth recording here, I didn’t expect it to be so big!

Thirty million box office? That's not something you can just say!

Even if Zhou Shengpeng was willing to let his men go to the cinema to increase the box office, he didn't know how much money he would make.

Is it really reasonable to waste so much money on a bet?

"Then let's add something else. If I win, I will take away all your artists, including this company.

Of course, there is also the film and television base you built!"

So, on the night before New Year's Day, everyone was talking about this matter.

Various newspaper headlines were also making a big fuss about it, and the noise in the streets and alleys seemed to be deliberately designed to cater to the arrival of the New Year.

No one knows what the final terms of this bet were reached by the two.

But what is certain is that this will affect the development of the entire film and television industry and even have an impact on foreign financing.

No one disagrees with the hard work of martial arts actors, and no one denies the excitement of martial arts scenes.

But many young people are looking for something different. They hope to see movies with real flesh and blood, not just empty shells.

"I will never watch that crappy martial arts movie again."

"Every movie is the same, and I still have to spend money to watch it? This is a complete waste of money! SUCK!"

"A Better Tomorrow? I don't even need to think about it, I know what the next plot will be!"

Amidst the two completely different discussions, everyone fell into a deep sleep, all looking forward to the arrival of the final movie. The next morning, many people went to line up at the entrance of the cinema.

Although Zhou Shengpeng had made preparations early and reserved many windows.

However, the popularity is much higher than expected. I originally thought that I could only watch the task rewards pass by without getting them.

Unexpectedly, I have this opportunity now.

As for other movies, no one made reservations for this time slot.

It's not just because of the money invested, but also because of the quality of the script.

Many screenwriters would not believe that such an excellent script could make Zhu Baoyi switch jobs directly.

"Brother Peng, I didn't expect your movie to be so popular. These young people are scrambling to buy your movie tickets!

Won't you give them a little discount?"

"My brothers have all gone to show their support, don't worry, that bastard He Zhe-nan will never succeed.

I knew from the beginning that he was not a good person!"

"When you were first developing your real estate business, I remember this guy also gave you trouble."

"Fuck, this is actually very easy to solve. All we need to do is sew his mouth shut, break his arms and legs, and throw him into the river, right?"

A group of gang bosses were discussing movies in the VIP box. It was New Year, so there wasn't much to do.

The money-making plans were also handed over to Zhou Shengpeng to prepare, and they were happy to have some free time.

On this day, the various societies would definitely not cause trouble to each other at this critical juncture. This seemed to have become an established rule!

"Okay, you guys can just watch a movie for once in a while."

"Just martial arts and stuff is too boring. We fight and kill every day, don't we see enough?"

This is also the reason why many club members are not very willing to watch martial arts movies.

In contrast, many veterans prefer comedy and want to relax themselves so as not to be always on edge.

In order to attract enough viewers for their movie premieres, both companies kept promoting their films on the streets, although people would also read the newspapers when passing by.

But who would refuse a cute kid who recommends a movie to you?

"Come and see, this is an authentic martial arts film, a Lunar New Year film! The action is gorgeous, the actors are amazing! You definitely won't be disappointed...

"Do you want to see a trace of tenderness in this world of violence?"

For most young people, there is no way to avoid these things, whether they join clubs or find a job honestly.

The more this happens, the more I hope to find some solace in another world.

The reason why Zhou Shengpeng wants to show his heroic qualities is to let young people accept a new trend in such a critical period of transformation and at such a cross-century moment.

Let them understand that even in movies, there are real men with flesh and blood.

The first movie was over. I didn’t see much of A Better Tomorrow, but passersby could see that:

People who walked out of the A Better Tomorrow theater had slightly red eyes.

You can tell at a glance whether someone is crying or not, and whether it is real crying or fake crying.

On the contrary, the people who came out of Shaolin Boy were all talking and laughing, but they were not discussing the movie itself.

At most, it's just some gorgeous action or some overly forced and sensational plot.

"If only I could fight as well as them, I'd definitely be able to make a name for myself!"

"Pushi, you can't even do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within 100, and you still want to learn how to fight like them?"

"You can!"

Like every martial arts movie before it, everyone was excited to discuss it when it came out.

But I also deeply understand that this kind of thing will never happen to me.

Most people are not that good at fighting, nor can they save the lives of a group of people by themselves. At most, they are just the ones being saved.

In contrast, those who haven't bought movie tickets yet are more curious. How can this "A Better Tomorrow" make people cry so much? Is it a romance movie?

If it's a romance film, why not take your girlfriend to watch it together? Maybe it can help warm up your relationship?

"You wait here for a moment. I'll go get my girlfriend. If this were a romance, I'd hit a home run tonight."

"Fatty, where did you get your girlfriend?"

"Hurry up! I've been back for two years, how come I didn't know about this?"

Of course, this is just the idea of ​​some young people. Most young people are just curious and want to know what exactly happened.

So, some people who planned to watch the Shaolin Kid movie put their money at the ticket window of A Better Tomorrow.

Regardless of the plot of the movie, the fact that you can get a bottle of soda and a small bag of snacks for free by purchasing a ticket for A Better Tomorrow is enough.

It's just a small price to pay, but it can make many people have a clear preference when they are struggling to decide which movie to watch.

"Mr. He, our box office seems a little unstable. Zhou Shengpeng shouldn't have so many talented people.

It doesn't make sense that so many people were diverted just by a bottle of soda and a small bag of snacks!"

"Don't even think about it, there must be people from their club filling the numbers. Is there any need to ask about such a thing?

Let’s wait until today is over to see how everyone reacts, and then determine our sales strategy for tomorrow and beyond based on their attitude!”

"The money given by the company is not much, we can't waste it like this, we have to save as much as possible.

Besides, our reputation is here, I don't believe they can resist watching it!"

"They are just a bunch of people who are greedy for small profits. After watching the movie today, everyone will understand the difference between the two movies!"

"If one person tells ten people, and ten tell a hundred people, will we still need to worry about this problem then?"

These guys are still so confident, and they maintain an attitude of looking down on Universal Pictures.

Whether it is their petty marketing strategy, the schedule for filming the movie, or even their practice of spending huge sums of money to poach talent, they all express disdain.

This kind of thing is a taboo in the industry and will be rejected by others.

Forget about going abroad to raise funds, you can’t even survive in Hong Kong Island!

But the reality does not allow them to get what they want. The truth is: everyone who walks out of the A Better Tomorrow theater is thoughtful.

They all want to live like Xiao Ma Ge, and they all want to become good brothers with people like Zhou Runfa and Zhang Guorong, and have someone to stand behind them.

"Today, I am shoulder to shoulder with you again!"

"The love we had back then is now even more fresh and delicious!"

“Sometimes you have to stop, and sometimes you have to charge forward. There’s still a long way to go, so you have to charge forward!”

"You can definitely break out of your own world!"

The script was not copied exactly, and some significant changes were made to it.

After all, some adjustments have been made to the characters, but for Zhou Shengpeng, there are a few people who absolutely cannot be replaced.

Zhou Runfa, who had not yet become famous, Zhang Guorong, who was frustrated, and of course Di Long, who had not produced any good works for a long time.

No matter which one of them it is, it is a regret in Zhou Shengpeng's heart.

Since there is no way to make up for the previous regrets, we must make sure they have no regrets here, in this world.

He Zhe'nan's subordinates were still watching the box office performance of the film and television on the first day, but they were dumbfounded by the result.

They hadn't imagined that A Better Tomorrow would be so good that it would even be passed down by word of mouth.

As for the Shaolin Boy? In the word-of-mouth of A Better Tomorrow, he seemed so powerless.

The repetitive and monotonous plot, the old-fashioned martial arts moves, although the visual impact is good, but compared with the emotional impact brought by A Better Tomorrow, the gap between the two is obvious.

Therefore, although A Better Tomorrow did not receive a high box office on the first day, its reputation was quite good.

"Have you gone to see A Better Tomorrow?"

"No ah!"

"You haven't even watched A Better Tomorrow? You're really behind the times. I recommend you go watch it right away. You'll really regret it if you don't. It's such a good movie, what a shame!"

I don’t know how many young people have had such conversations.

There are also a lot of young people who imitate Xiao Ma Ge's action of lighting a cigarette with banknotes. I have to say, the posture is really cool.

There are many young men who have attracted girls whom they never imagined before.
